Australian-bought ADSL router. Will it work in Europe?

So there are no difference in the (ADSL-part of the) telephone systems in different parts of the world...?

Your modem should work fine in Europe, just verify with your ISP the values of VP/VC (Virtual Path/Virtual Circuit).. The values used by most US providers are 0/35, but some modems came with default of 8/35... Good luck

You have to ask your ISP if it is compatible with their equipment.

So the application of ADSL technology is ISP-independent, not country-independent? And is it up to the ISP, or to the line-owner (2 different companies) to decide?

Regards, Evert

There are different applications of ADSL technology; G.lite, G.DMT, G.test, G.OAM and G.HS are just some examples. Like I said, you have to contact the ISP to see what hardware is compatible with their application of ADSL.

If anything...

ISP Dependent, country independent.

In my case the ISP and the line owner are the same.

it depends on what dslam they isp is using. generally if it's adsl you should have no trouble unless you are far from the central office or RT location. or if your isp is using some special configuration in their dslam like s=1/2 and maybe this modem might not support.

the modem was Annex A. Does this mean it also should be set to annex B when used on an analogue line in Norway?

(It's now changed to Annex B since I've tested the modem on an ISDN line (different ISP), just to see whether it was faulty or not. It worked fine there.)

Will it now also work on an analogue line with this Annex B firmware?

Hi!

Please note that Norway uses ADSL Annex B in order to support ISDN. I do not know what Annex your Australian modem is. (A or B)

Hei Evert!

In Norway all modems are Annex B even if used over POTS (analog line).

If you can set the modem from Annex A to Annex B then it should work. Note. I've never seen a multi modem that supports both Annex A and Annex B, but there are many modems out there...

The main difference between A and B is the start frequency. To my knowledge Annex A and B modems have a different FW and analog frontend (filter).

Hilsen Erik

Ah... The Billion website simply says Annex A=POTS, Annex B=ISDN. A bit misguiding... :-/

Well, I'll give it a try as soon as I get at the home of the poor owners of that ADSL-router... ;)

Thanks, everyone! :)
